Cash Flow From Investing (CFFI) is a financial term used to calculate the total amount of cash generated or used by a business for investing activities. The formula for calculating CFFI is: CFFI = Purchases of property, plant and equipment + sales of investments – purchases of investments. This figure provides insight into how much capital a company is using to invest in assets that generate future cash flows, such as property, equipment, machinery and stocks. By keeping track of CFFI, businesses can better plan for future cash needs, budgets and investments.
